Yanis Varoufakis (Greek: Ιωάννης "Γιάνης" Βαρουφάκης,pronounced [ˈʝanis varuˈfacis]; born 24 March 1961) is an academic economist who was a member of the Greek parliament between January and September 2015. He represented the ruling Syriza party and held the position of Minister of Finance for seven months. He voted against the terms of the third bailout package for Greece. In December 2015 he announced plans to launch a pan-European movement the following February.
Varoufakis is a participant in the current debates on the global and European crisis, the author of The Global Minotaur and several academic texts on economics and game theory, Professor of Economic Theory at the University of Athens and a private consultant for Valve Corporation. He is a dual Greek-Australian citizen and describes himself as a 'libertarian Marxist': "In truth, Karl Marx was responsible for framing my perspective of the world we live in, from my childhood to this day. It is not something that I volunteer to talk about in 'polite society' much these days because the very mention of the M-word switches audiences off."

Srećko Horvat, a Croat philosopher, Elif Shafak, renowned Turkish novelist, and Yanis Varoufakis, Greece’s former finance minister, bring to this conversation an intriguing perspective. As intellectuals who know Britain well, they understand first hand the perils of nationalism, disintegration, isolationism and marginalisation. They place post-Brexit Britain in a context informed by a view of Europe and Britain from the continent’s opposite ‘corner’, sharing insights from Greece’s tensions with Brussels and Berlin, Yugoslavia’s disintegration, and Turkey’s fraught relationship with a Europe that both courts and marginalises it.

Former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis tells me he would love to give Brussels a shock – but a Brexit vote to leave the EU in the UK’s refrendum in June would lead to the disintegration of the European Union and a return to the xenophobia, racism and ultra-nationalism of the 1930s. He also argues that it could also lead to Boris Johnson becoming prime minister. We also chatted about his 'erratic Marxism', whether capitalism will eat democracy, his thoughts about the European Union's treatment of Greece, his decision to resign from the Syriza government, his relationship with Alexis Tsipras and DiEM25, Yanis Varoufakis's attempt to reform the European Union.

Gerade einmal sieben Monate als Finanzminister der Syriza-Regierung haben Prof. Yanis Varoufakis in Deutschland zum gefühlt bekanntesten Griechen seit Sokrates gemacht. Der Volkswirtschaftler mit Ausbildung an den Universitäten von Essex und East Anglia, der später an der britischen Elite-Uni Cambridge, sowie an den Universitäten von Sydney, Glasgow, Louvain und Athen als Professor lehrte, wird in den deutschen „Qualitätsmedien“ gerne als „Popstar“ lächerlich gemacht – obwohl er die meisten Berufspolitiker in der EU in Sachen Fachwissen klar deklassiert. Varoufakis wäre mit seiner Expertise natürlich vor allem ein veritabler politischer Gegner für den Anführer der Anti-Griechen in der EU, den Juristen Dr. Wolfgang Schäuble – wenn sich Schäuble nicht darauf verlassen könnte, dass nur er u...
